Animé Come to Life!

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2013)

If you're an animé fan (Japanese animation), then this is the movie for you!
I came to the movie theater with a mindset that I am a kid again -- ready to fight Ultraman-Evangelion-Samurai X style -- something like that. Although, I am actually a kid in an adult's body. LOL.
I was not disappointed with this movie. The movie was honest. It did not feel forced like the Transformers movies. I've seen del Toro's past work, e.g. Pan's Labyrinth and the Hellboy movies. I liked those movies of his, and especially this new one. It was big! Big concept with big action sequences -- and it delivered!
This movie would make you wish you've seen it when you were in elementary! Prepare for some Ultraman-Gundam-Godzilla nostalgia!
I hope Pacific Rim succeeds in the box office. It's a big, ambitious, original movie which pays tribute to the classic anime/comic book greats. Hollywood is currently obsessed with DC/Marvel superhero movies. We need more original movies like this that does not have Batman, Spider-man, or Iron Man in it's title as it's selling point.
Guillermo del Toro deserves some huge credit!
